Battlefleet Gothic: Relictor Space Marine Sword Class Frigates

So you may be asking yourself "Andrew, why did you include two Sword Class Frigates in your Relictors fleet? It seems like an arbitrary choice."

And frankly you would be right. Essentially I need to make up for some points and these two frigates fit the bill. So is their inclusion a tactical choice? Nope, purely just to make up the points.

And this is not the first time I have used Sword Class Frigates for this very purpose. Even in my small Space Wolf fleet I have a couple of these to help make up the points.

Unlike my Space Wolf frigates however these two are not real Games Workshop models. Like the other Relictor Ships before them they are 3D printed, though admittedly from Shapeways rather than home-made.

Thankfully any escort class vessel can be grouped in a squadron together of 2-6 ships so these two ships can operate on their own or in a larger group of escorts.

So we will see what Ivan (our Relictor's Player) decides when he throws down the fleet.

And the Relictor's Space Marine Fleet is well on the way to being finished. Next I have to finish up a group of seven Hunter Class Destroyers and then I can finally teach some new players how to play Battleflet Gothic! It has been too long. But soon... Soon.
